⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[masulum]

Manchester City is rumored to be trying to bring in AC Milan star players in the winter transfer market. Pep hopes City can bring in Leao. However, Leao currently has a contract with AC Milan until 2028. Several media reported, to be able to successfully bring in Leao, City must be willing to pay at least 175 million euros. If this transfer process really happens, AC Milan will experience a decline in performance, because Leao is an important player for Milan at the moment. I'm not sure if there is a player ready to replace Leao.

It's true that we know that currently Chelsea doesn't have a creative midfielder like KDB or Odegaard who can always supply the ball to his teammates to score goals, but on the other hand, their attack line doesn't have anyone who can do that finishing. If you ask me where Mudryk is placed, I will put him on the bench until the season ends then sell him to another club. Everyone knows this player is very useless and Chelsea has certainly lost a lot because of this worst purchase. I saw that he had failed as a young player and was now nothing more than an amateur football player. It's a shame that Chelsea spent a lot of money on Mudryk last winter.

Chelsea had nkuku who can play as attacking midfielder as well. This club lack of player that can support its striker. I remember when nkuku was always helping jackson in scoring during the pre season.
The sad thing if chelsea miss him now due tot he his injury. Chelsea has bought cole palmer which can be an answer for chelsea's attacking line but the main problem is palmer was feeling so difficult in adapting to the club.
Too many young players without enough experiences in the club. This is hurting the club so much.

Chelsea is confusing to solve the problem on its attacking line. The defenders are also showing decline on its performance. It's hard to imagine this club will able to go to the top 10 this season.
It's unlikely to happen with chelsea. This club will be also facing so many hard matches.

Tuchel is the only manager who has tolerance to accept whatever Chelsea brings home but sadly the political goons surrounded by Todd Boehly didn't make him see things now, he doesn't need anybody to tell him or judge Chelsea's performance, it's all written in their faces that the club is lagging, they better act fast before things shattered, because I don't think even good players will be motivated to come and play for them again.

It is a highly regrettable decision made by the Chelsea board and its current owner Todd Boehly to sack Thomas Tuchel seeing that they are yet to get it right with a manager to handle the team and turn things around greatly for Chelsea. If you fast-forward back to the time when Tuchel was still managing Chelsea,  it was more interesting to watch Chelsea than now. However, I still think Pochettino should be given a little more time to see if he can fix things right and get Chelsea back on track.

That's too much, although Leao is a young talented player, but his performance isn't worth for 175 Million Euros, such amount worth for Haaland or Osimhen. 125 Million Euros already the highest money to sign Leao.

AC Milan is to slow to develop their squad, they're always rely to Giroud when he's already 36 years old. I think AC Milan is fine if Leao leave their team because they have Pulisic which is ex Chelsea's player.

Leao is a talented player and I believe AC Milan would tie him down with a better contract offer to wade off Man City purported offer, I watched some AC Milan matches last season Leao was such a creative attacking player who created many scoring chances and assist for Giroud and also a good pacy dribbler and delightful to watch, AC Milan must have a better replacement for him before considering selling him to Man City, Guordiola has a star-studded and strengthened squad already I don't think there is any need to sign new players Leao now considering the fact many of the players would need regular playing time.

Chelsea are the impatient ones to be honest. Well it's now become a modern culture of changing managers as soon as team starts developing series of inconsistent performance. Tuchel was really a great manager but in the end the new owners didn't like some of his decisions and parted ways with Tuchel. I think with Pochettino it will be same despite what wishes and opinions their fans or us have.

Chelsea wasted a lot of money on transfers they just wanted superstars in their team and paid big money but that isnt how football goes. You need players that can go well with each other and thats why Chelsea keeps on having bad matches and looks like another bad season if they dont change something quick.

The funniest part about it all the issues that Chelsea has right now is that they tried to solve the actual issue by doing the same mistake again. It became obvious that money isn't the sole solution and that it needs planning and sophisticated scouting for players who fit well together, but no, they just did the same mistake. Use as much money as they can to get as many superstars as they can and then hope that these incompatible superstars become a superior unit and dominate the Premier League. That's funny considering that Todd Boehly deems himself a professional in sports business and club building.

[topbitcoin]

Looking at the situation Chelsea are experiencing in the Todd Boehly Era at the moment I feel their problem from the start is only one, namely the haste in taking action.
They did not really think about the impact that occurred when making decisions and only focused on positive results where Chelsea's initial assumption was that with the new era they had to show something good with the money they had but instead this became the wrong choice when they quickly changed coaches like Tuchel who was replaced and continuously changed players at high prices but the role at the club seemed not very useful.

Rush, or more precisely in my opinion, in the Todd Boehly era, was considered a lack of understanding of football. What he did and his policies only ended in many mistakes starting from coaches, buying players, including sales. For example, retaining bad players and selling players with good capacity. Plus, as long as Todd Boehly isn't replaced soon, this monotony will continue. It is increasingly difficult to predict what direction Todd Boehly will take in leading a club that has long had big names but has increasingly lost its winning mentality.

Replacing Todd Boehly? That's an impossibility.
Who would buy Chelsea at such a high price and in such a chaotic state as it is now especially would Todd want to leave with the losses he has earned while at Chelsea? I don't think that will be possible.
I'm actually quite sorry to see Todd at the moment where the money he poured out which is certainly not small has not gotten any results and is increasingly making him get losses but this is the impact of the strategy he practiced to bring Chelsea with a path that was considered instant and with his haste in taking action.
Things that have happened last season and his movements at the start of the season by entrusting the reshuffle of current players have not shown good results, he should have realized enough by now that being a club owner who interferes too much in terms of management is a mistake.

Leao performance during playing at Milan was very consistent that's why Milan has decide to extended his contract until 2028 and at his new contract Milan was putting a release clause approximately 100 millions but last time i heard Milan want 150 millions to those who want to buy him and i am sure if Manchester City want to bought Leao from Milan the price will be very expensive and not impossible this transfer will broke the record as the most expensive player in the Manchester City history and the current expensive player at this team is belong to Jack Grealish that Manchester City have to spend 117 millions to bought him from Aston Villa

[Hirose UK]

The contract extension was agreed for the next 3 years and Bernando Silva still has a big chance of saving the title again for the next season with Manchester City without any worries about him losing the achievements he has achieved so far with Manchester City.
Hopefully in the future there will be no loans made with Barcelona because that will only worsen his image as a great player with a high nominal salary.

Bernando Silva role is not much different from Kevin De Bruyne, so it was not surprising when he received the news that his contract had been extended. Manchester City will definitely not let Bernando Silva go away despite his hugely influential contribution. Even if Barcelona has to make offer after offer, I'm sure it won't be able to reach another agreement. Manchester City's decision is the right one and I agree with this.

Yes that true and Manchester City has a target of becoming the ruler of the Premier League and also the UCL in the longer term so they will retain all the players with abilities that they feel can still be relied on.
So far for the Premier League only Manchester City has a very perfect list of players or you could say they are star players that most teams cannot have and in the future there is still a very big chance that they can bring back several trophies every season.

In contrast to Barcelona which may still have a little difficulty in forming a squad containing great players because until the player transfer window closes Barcelona still seems confused and there have been several failures in submitting bids.
If in the next transfer window Barcelona does not immediately look for several players who can fill the void then they will certainly be left even further behind by Real Madrid in the Spanish League.

175 million euros is the release clause in his contract so if Man City wants to get Leao, it must redeem that much because Milan and Leao have agreed to activate this.

Yeah if Man City want to keep pushing then they must be willing to spend big money but this rumor is still unclear because Leao still wants to stay at Milan.
Even if he leaves Leao Milan then this team will lose a talented striker like him, maybe you think he is ordinary for me Leao is quite important in Milan.

Man City are smart enough to not spend that much and try to go after other players on the same position. They are not the type of club right now to be "desperate" to find a game changing player for the team. They have a great squad so they don't need to have spend that much when they have everything they need. 175m is a lot and City if wants to spend that much then they would rather think about getting more players than getting a player for 175m. I don't think City will go much for that player at all.

I wouldn't say they wasted money per se, but it is true that they bought quite a lot of players and they prolly didn't even need some of them, sometimes i don't know what Todd is thinking, he just keeps spending. But on the other hand there's no denying the fact that they really acquired talented players and if they stick together at Stamford Bridge for many years, then sometime in the future we can say their investment did pay off.

I understand some of your concerns. People are excited about adding new players to Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea may be moving too fast. They spent 1 billion euros recently, but the results don't show they're in command, right? The news that Nkunku was hurt is heartbreaking. Why are we so dependent on one player? Pochettino must accomplish plenty. Nkunku isn't alone - the team has problems getting along. Are these investments long-term or just pricey tests?

I also heard this news from several people but I'm a little unsure whether AC Milan will let this player go when AC Milan is more stable with Leao and I think the Milan coach realizes that losing Leao will be a problem in the future if they can't get an equal replacement. because I also haven't been able to find information if Leao will leave AC Milan who his replacement will be because it would be very bad if he lost this player without an equivalent replacement.
But let's see in the winter whether this transfer will happen and I want to guess that AC Milan will reject the offer even though the offer is very large unless the Milan coach already has an alternative replacement player.

[Ndabagi01]

Chelsea are doing a bad business,they are selling their players that have already flopped to teams.They knew that Karl Harvetz and Mason Mount are no longer useful,but they sold them to Arsenal and Manchester United respectively.They sold those players for very big money when they know the players cannot produce half of the amount they sold them for.

I don't believe that's why they were sold. When Pochettino arrived, he was eager to give everyone an opportunity while also not discouraging anyone from leaving the club if they so desired. Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, and more players received offers from other teams and accepted them. If I were in his position, I would not hesitate to let them leave. To build a new team that has already been broken, all your players must be committed, dedicated, and have the willingness of the players.

The only manager I have loved since Tuchel left is this resent manager, Pochetino,he believes in building players to the highest level,that is why he has brought some unknown names to the club this season,and if you look at how they are playing,you will definitely love it,despite the fact that they've not won much games this season,they are playing good football,and the injury to Nkunku has been the reason why they find it difficult to get goals in games.

I also believe Pochettino is a better manager than those who succeeded Tuchel. Building a broken team is no easy task, especially when new players are brought in. Even putting these qualities together and blending them will take a lot of effort and time. I won't say he's not on the right track, but he needs to get things moving faster since the club and fans need to see positive results quickly.

It sounds like an impossible mission for manchester city to bring him to the ettihad stadium. In fact, leaso has been getting some offers during last season but he has been deciding to play in serie a even longer.
I thought that leao was an impossible transfer for manchester city. This guy has everything as a winger. City will be even stronger with him on its side, but it's too good to be true.
Leaso has explained that if he was willing to play in ac milan even longer than before. I see no chance for manchester city to take him from acmilan even when the club send decent offoer for acmilan.
Acmilan was just building back its dream club again. The club shall not miss that momentum.

Here we are talking about the effectiveness of buying a player, I would agree more if a club bought 3 players and 2 of them became successful purchases, rather than buying 5 players but there were only 2 successful players. I also think realistically in this case, because of course in every player purchase we cannot expect that their purchase will be a successful purchase, and I think there are rarely clubs that can do that, and even if there is I consider it a luck. And what happened to Chelsea at this time, I agree that they were too hasty in deciding, if I'm not mistaken there were 9 players they brought in, and I didn't see from the players they brought in that really stood out, so it's not wrong to say they just wasted money to buy players.

Today's gossip:

Chelsea and England defender Reece James, 23, has been earmarked by Real Madrid as a long-term replacement for Spain's Dani Carvajal, 31. James signed a six-year contract with the Blues in 2022. (Diario AS - in Spanish)

Liverpool have no intention of terminating Thiago Alcantara's contract to enable the Spain midfielder, 32, to secure a move to Turkey. (Football Insider)

Germany attacking midfielder Julian Draxler, 29, is set to move from Paris St-Germain to Qatari side Al-Ahli in a deal thought to be worth in excess of 20m euros (£17.1m). (Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sport Germany)

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/gossip

Dani Carvajal was the weak link for Manchester City, as they operated from the right full back position more during the Champions League games last season. He should be replaced with a good defender but that defender can't be Reece James. He's now the Captain of Chelsea and has no internal issues with the management nor coach. Bringing him to Los Blancos would be difficult to achieve.

Replacing Thiago Alcantara would sure be difficult. He played a vital roles for Liverpool winning the Premier League. Injures are now his issues, he dropped form and can't make it easily to the first team, he should be sold.

I'll miss Julian Draxler, I watched him play for Wolfsburg and then to Paris Saint Germany. He was a very brilliant player until PSG got Neymar Junior who dumped him from his left wing position.

With the decision taken by Rafael Leao, Pep could not do more to get Leao to complete his squad, although today Rafael Leao was priced at around 175 million euro, I thought AC Milan would not sell it even though the price was 200 million euro, because AC Milan was moderate Trying to revive his enthusiasm to become a more fierce team in Serie A, and I agreed that Leao was a very important player for the AC Milan game.

But if you think again and Rafael Leao is selfish in himself, instead entering Manchester City is a good opportunity to increase his popularity as well as his development to be better in the hands of Pep Guardiola especially today Manchester City is a team that has a great opportunity to Getting streak again in the current season, but it seems he is not selfish and prefers to continue to develop with AC Milan.

Rafael Leão is a player that will be very hard to replace. You don't get a player who is strong and skillful easily. For now, he is the engine room of AC Milan, and losing him will affect the club negatively. Apart from Manchester City, Chelsea are also interested in getting the service of the Portuguese winger. AC Milan will not want to let the player leave next year as a free agent since his contract will expire next year. So there are plans to give him a four-year contract that will make the 23years superstar earn close to €7m. Any club that wants to get him to have to break the bank and this fund will help AC Milan financially.
